Want to know what it would be like if they bailed us out instead of wall street?

Here’s the plan:

*I’m against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.*

Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a *We
Deserve It Dividend*.

To make the math simple, let’s assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide
U.S. Citizens 18+.

Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman
and child. So 200,000,000 might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals
$425,000.00.

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a *We Deserve It
Dividend*.

Of course, it would *NOT* be tax free. So let’s assume a tax rate
of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes. That sends
$25,500,000,000 rig ht back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket. A
husband and wife has $595,000.00.

*What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?*
*Pay off your mortgage – housing crisis solved.*
*Repay college loans – what a great boost to new grads*
*Put away money for college – it’ll be there*
*Save in a bank – create money to loan to entrepreneurs.*
*Buy a new car – create jobs*
*Invest in the market – capital drives growth*
*Pay for your parent’s medical insurance – health care improves*
*Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean – or else*

*Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ ‘including the
folks who lost their jobs at Lehman Brothers and every other company
that is cutting back. And of course, for those serving in our Armed
Forces.

If we’re going to re-distribute wealth let’s really do it…instead
of
trickling out a puny $1000.00 ( ‘vote buy’ ) economic incentive that
is being proposed by one of our candidates for President.

If we’re going to do an $85 billion bailout, *let’s bail out every
adult U S Citizen 18+!*

*As for AIG – liquidate it.*
Sell off its parts.
Let American General go back to being American General.
Sell off the real estate.
Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

*Here’s my rationale.* *We deserve it and AIG doesn’t.*
=0 A
*Sure it’s a crazy idea that can ‘never work.’*

But can you imagine the *Coast-To-Coast Block Party*!

How do you spell* Economic Boom?*

*I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85
Billion*
*We Deserve It Dividend* more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in
Washington DC ..

And remember, The Chud plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because
$25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Wanted to know what people thought…?

I got this email:

This idea sounds just crazy enough to possibly work, so naturally it won’t be given serious consideration. How great is our bureaucracy!!

Hi Pals,

I’m against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

Instead, I’m in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.

My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.

Of course, it would NOT be tax free.

So let’s assume a tax rate of 30%.

Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.

But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their r pocket.

A husband and wife has $595,000.00.

What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

If we’re going to do an $85 billion bailout, let’s bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

As for AIG – liquidate it.

Here’s my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn’t.

I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion

We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC

And remember, The Birk plan only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

Ahhh…I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

Kindest personal regards,

PS: Feel free to pass this along to your pals as it’s either good for a laugh or a tear or a very sobering thought on how to best use $85 Billion!!

Need to know if my friend can invest in the USA even if she might be out of status ? Update!?

Need to know if my friend can invest in the USA even if she might be out of status ?
hello!
my friend came here legally, she graduated from school, she found a sponsor, who filed for the green card,

but the immigration canceled her papers cause it couldn’t get the Dept of Labor approval on time.

now she has a visa she got from the usa embassy for up to 2 more yrs, since 2004

but when she came here the custom agent at the airport put a stamp that allowed her to stay until the school is over.

but the USA embassy’s visa states that the visa is valid until 2009.

she thinks she is out of status because of the whole sponsoship mess.

but can she still invest while she is in the USA?
though she might be out of status?

I heard that if you invest $ 500.000 you can get a condditional green card. the visa for this is called EB-5 visa for entrepreneur

what can she do?
can anyone answer ?

how to know strike price from startup just joined if not in written contract?

i just started wkg, but noticed that the strike price is not indicated, ex: $.05 or $.20/share, etc.while i have certain #of shares. what’s the best way to know by asking, what are some key questions i can asked so i’m not tricked into a false price? from research, employees get 25% discount of what investors’ valued shares – is that normal, or case dependent? is this normal not to include this info in contract or depnds on board of directors’ mtg then the price is decided? but isn’t that already done before the job’s offered? thanks!
